Supramolecular aptamer-thrombin linear and branched nanostructures.
Alpha and beta conjugated bis-aptamers against thrombin act as bidentate "glue" for the self-assembly of thrombin nanowires; mixing the bidentate aptamer with a tripodal tridentate alpha aptamer construct yields branched thrombin nanowire structures.
